I don’t think any group (FAs or passengers) in general is the problem. It’s individuals choosing to behave badly that is the problem. It’s just as wrong for a passenger to assume an FA is on a power trip for enforcing the rules as it is for an FA to assume a passenger is challenging their authority if they don’t comply IMMEDIATELY without question. The Golden Rule used to the rule. Nowadays it seems like everyone wants to be either a rule maker or a rule breaker.
